Radiation oncology table tops

Do not use the arm boards at a height above horizontal. Due to the increased width needed for the flat top and lok-bar, there is a possibility for collision and a pinch hazard if the arm boards are used above the horizontal plane.

Do not use the coil positioning braces for a hand hold when getting the patient on the table, or as a handle for moving the table around. This feature is not designed as a weight bearing device, and could fall or break.

When moving the cradle in and out of the magnet bore, keep the patient’s and your hands away from pinch points. Place the patient's hands on the top of the thighs or above the head to avoid pinch points during positioning.
